AN OM) WHALERS SERMON
JONAH AND THE WHALE; A REPLY
TO LYMAN ABBOTT.
Alt Ablo Mommm, who Ima Ilttudlort
YV Union, Tolls ul the KxporloaoOM Timi.
Convinced tam of tho Truth of tho Ululo
Story-Hin Wonting to Scontlca.
Despite inodorn solon li ho resoarches
ami loamed treaties of emiuont di
vinos, who have sought oagorly to
provo to tho world ihe unreasonable
noss of tho assertion that a whale can
.. swallow a man, I des ho to say, with
out fear of reasonable contradiction,
that from practical personal knowl
edge on tho subjootl know they aro
all wrong.
Thirty years ago I sailed from
New Bedford, Mass., on a whalo ship
for a forty-four mo ot hs' cr ti iso in tho
South Seas with tho veteran whalo
man, Capt. Elisha Babcook, who is
well known to tho whaling fraternity.
Wo had a very successful voyngo UJJ
to the timo I loft tho expedition, twen
ty-seven months afterward, off thc
coast of Borneo. Now, a whale is thc
biggest of all Clod's living croatures
on sea or land, and what wo call a
sporm whale is the smallest of whales,
varying in longth from 50 to 130 feet
and largo in proportion, making from
40 to HO barrels of oil.
Ono beautiful day in August, 18?6
on tho Wostorn Ocoan, a whalo wai
sighted by tho man at tho masthead
who sang out :
.'Ah, she blows."
Thoso words had tho effect of ar
oloctric shook. Every mau in tin
ship from stom to storn was up an<
doing in an instant. Presently tin
oaptaiu shouted back :
"Whore away("
"About threo points on tho loo bow
sir.?
"How far oil'?"
"About threo miles, sir." Thou sab
the captain to tho crow :
"Baok your main yards." "Low?
boats anet away," was tho noxt ordor
Our ship carried four boats, oacl
manned J>y a crew of ilvo men and ai
o??cor. Tho boat iu which I wit
roached tho whalo ilrst. When w
got to him ho was aslcop. It was th
most clangorous time to strike him, be
cause nobody can toll what move i
whalo suddenly aroused will malci
first. He was tho largost sperm whal
I think I ovor saw, and probably wa
good for 110 barrels o? oil. That is i
vast amount to got from a sporn
whalo, although from a bo whoa i
whalo ono sometimes gets 250 bav
reis. When we struck this follow h
raised his tail, whioh ineassurett abou
fifteen feet across, and made tho watc
seethe and boil a momont or two; the
ho went down. Being fast lo hit
with two irons, we payed out tho lin
very quickly to koop from going dow
with him. Presently tho lino gre
slack, which moans that ho had sto]
ped somewhere just beneath us. Bi
tho water was so thick with his bloo
that wo wero unable to seo how ts
down he was. Wo knew ho was net
but how near wo could not tell ju
thon. While we wero eagerly loo!
iUg over tho sides of tho boat, quick i
a fiash he struck tho bottom of tl
boat and wo wont Hying. When I r
covered my senses I was about fi flee

When I roached tho top what should

my head. I darted to one side. Dov

If I had beon un dor it I should ha1
been smashed to smithereens. As

harpooner. Ho could not swim,
few strokes away there was a buoy,
soourod it, dragged it to him, and ji
as ho was about to givo up in dospj
he grasped it, and was saved. Th
wo both oluiig to tho buoy and took
tko situation. The bow oarsman w
thrown over about twenty rods. T
tub oarsman, stroke oarsman, and t
second mato wero thrown in diff.
, ont directions. I, hoing midship oa
man, had beon picked up, as a pr
cake, and ilopped over and shov
down. While tho harpooner and
hung to tho buoy wero kopt busy kic

toen to twenty-fivo feet long- -tho ki:
that can divido a fellow at ono nip.
Our stroke oarsman could not swii
but ho got hold of a piece of the hoi
that piece was fast to tho lino and t
lino'was fast to tho whalo. Ho pass
us like a shot, reaching out Iiis han
and shouting, "Bill 1 Bill 1 Savo rid

than ho was gone. Presonlly t
whalo wont down, tho piece o?' bc
wont with him, and tho ??roteo oa:

was rescued, and thon tho rest of
wore picked up. .
All this happened within ten m
utes. Nothing remained of our sm
boat. Tho 600 fathoms of lino w
gone, as wero kino thc 1 anees, h ar poo
and tho two buoys. Ouo of tho oil
boats, howevor, put for tho whalo a

Now, when I was clinging to tl
buoy the Biblo story of Jonah and I
whale carno forcibly to my mind, a
I wondored if I was doomed to

tho whale was lying at tho ship's s
and wo wero cutting him in I told

mo to go through tho whale's thrc
and I resolved to do so whon his lu
carno on deck, to demonstrate
possibility of Jonah's oxporionco.
did not then boliovo in tho Biblo, 1
I verified tho whale story, for wi
the hoad was on tho neck I w
through tho throat as easily as 11
crawled through bars when a boy.
Tho hoad containing tho spormai
oil is always cut from tho trunk ti
hauled in wholo. Of courso,
whalo's jaws como with it, and tl
measured often from eight to two
foot. When wo killed othor wha
from timo to timo, somo of tho n
lifted up tho lowor jaw, whilo
rest, ono aftor anothor, would crt
through tho throat, not. down wh
Jonah wont, but to tho deck. Th
did moro times than I havo fing
and toes, lt should bo romombo
that in each caso wo crawled throi
tho throat of a dead whalo. If, wi
doad. a whalo had a throat to a<Ji
mo, then woighing 170 pounds, wi
would bo tho possibility of a livo, m
and hungry whalo? Although
sperm whale is largor, with a thr
notonly capable of swallowing aw
built man, but, in my judgomon
good sized horse or cow. Thus it <
readily bo undorstood how and wh
am so emphatic in my remarks at
beginning of this article. I wo
further say that all tho stories t
learnedoplnionsthathavoovorbcen
visen and related in roforonco to
inability of a whalo to ?wallow a u
I, aro simply absurd, I am a skoptio
longer, and, wha'iovor mon may ?
or boliovo concerning tho vcraoity
tho wonderful whalo story of
Biblo, not ono jot or tiltlo of it ouj
to bo abated, modified, or loft out.
Whon a whalo ls killed ho no
dlca unless his hoad is toward tho sun,
Sometimos tho skios would bo over
cast whon wo killed a whale, but when
tho olouds would vanish it would ho
seon'that his hoad was Coward tho
tun, I never knew o? a while tobe
otherwise!"I cannot explain it, nor
did I ovor hoar it oxplainod, but
somehow I havo au idea that God,
tho creator of this monstrous oreaturo,
has, given lum tho instinct to turu to
the light while he is sinking in dark
ness and death. Is not this n lesson
to tho higher oreatures, teaching them
in darkness and despair to keep their
fo/jos over toward the Groator Bun?

THAT DISPENSARY DECISION.
Tho Oiiiullmt? Ooiistnblo Injunction l'ont
uro Doos Not Hold.
COLUMBIA, S. C., Fob. 1.-Tho Stato
authorities havo found on examina
tion of tho dooision in tho dispensary
oaso that tho omnibus injunction
against constables doos not hold. This
phase of tho ' decision is brought out
ir? tho equity caso decided in ino uni
ted States Supremo Court. Tho decis
ion requires judge Simonton to mod
ify his decree of injunction to con
form t? tho decision, making it apply
only to tho constables named in tho
original action. Tho Stato, however,
doos not proposo or intend to antago
nize tho principle laid down it is
stated,
Tho anti omnibus injunction prin
cipio is said to bo of much import,and
tho decision of tho Unitod Slates Su
premo Court says on this point: "But
while wo think that tho complainant
was entitled to an injunction against
these dofondauts who had dospoilod
him of his property, and who wore
threatening to continuo so to decreo
in this caso. Tho theory of tho decree
onlercd in this caso. Tho theory of tho
decree is thal tho plaintiff is ono of a
class of persons whoso rights aro in
fringed and throatoned, and that he
so represents such class that ho may
pray an injunction on behalf of ali
persons that constitute it. It is, in
deed, possiblo that there may bo
others in like caso with tho plaintiff,
and that such persons may bo numer
ous, but such a stato of facts is too
conjectural to furnish a safo basis
upon which a Court of equity ought
to grant au injunction.
Wo prefer to accept in this respect
tho viows exprossod by Justico Nol
ton, in the case of Cutting V. Gilbert,
(5 Blatch, 259.) Extracts aro citod
from tho decision. Similar viows pre
vailed in the caso of Baker vs. City of
Portland (5 Sawyer, 566.) Tho decree
is also objectionable beeauso it enjoins
persons not parties to tho suit. This
is not a case whore tho defendants
named represent thoso not named.
Nor is there allogod any conspiracy
between tho parlies defendant and
oilier unknown parties. Tho acts
complained of aro tortious, and do
not grow out of any common action
or ogreomont between constables and
shoriffs of tho Stato of South Carolina.
We have, indeed, a right to presume
that such offioors, though not named
in the suit, will, when advised that
certain provisions of tho Act in ques
tion havo been pronounced unconsti
tutional by tho court to which tho
constitution of tho Unitod States re
fers such -questions, voluntarily re
frain from enforcing such provisions;
but wo do not think it comports with
j woll sottled principles of equity pro
1 ccduro to include them in an injunc
tion, in a suit in which they wore not
hoard or represented, or to subject
thom to penalties for contempt in dis
regarding such an injunction. (Fel
. low vs. Follow, 4 John Chan, 25 ; cit
ing Ivcson vs. Harris, 7 Vesey, 257.)
Tho deoroo of tho court bolow should
: therefore be amended by being re
. strii ted to the partios named as plain
i tiffs and defendants in tho bill, and
' this is directed to be done, and it is
i othorwiso affirmed. Mr. Justico Brow
\ or did not hear tho argument, and
i took no part in tho decision of this
> caso. The full toxt of tho decision
1 was givon out tonight, but the ex
tract given is tho new and important
part not published horotoforo, Tho
official dispensary bill will- probably
bo introduced tomorrow.-Nows and

I Nicw YORK, Fob. 3.-Congressman
C. J. Boatner, of Louisiana, who is in
tho city, said that about 100,000 people
are destitute in tho northwestern part
?f this stale, beeauso of tho fail uro of
their crops. Ho had received dis
patches from a Now Orleans editor,
stating that thn.pooplo needed scod
with which io moko new crops, and
asking him to make an appropriation
thorofor. "I shall not ask congress to
mako appropriations for seed." tho
congressman said, ""because I fool suro
that President Cleveland would veto
any bill of that naturo. Ho vetoed.a j
bill of a similar kind for tho sufforors
in Kansas some years ago." He ox
plained tho reasons for tho fearful
condition, which wore as follows:
"Last y oar wo had a drougth for four
months. It not only killed tho crop,
but tho streams dried up, cattlo died
or those that lived locarno very poor.
Thc drought was confined to tho hilly
or sandy soil and not to tho rich allu
vial lands of tho Mississippi, Red and
Oachita rivers. Tho alluvial lands,
however, can stand longer drought
than tho other lands. Tnoro are
about 100,000 affected by this failure
to mako crops and we aro doing all wo
can to help laom. Tho stato ot courso
will do all it can to provont thom from
suffering; but thoy aro in actual want.

Tho motion of Mr. Magill was then
put and tho bill was continued to tho
noxt session, tho final voto being
clinched.
Mr. Robinson's bill fixing the fees
of witnesses afor attendance upon tho
courts of genoval sessions was culled
up and Mr. Westmoreland moved to
strike out tho enaotiug words of tho
bill. After somo furthor argument
Mr. T. Y. Williams called attention
to tho fact that a great proportion of
witnesses could not mako CO cents a
day at homo. By a vote of 55 to 3-1
tho house killed tho bill, which was to
raise tho por diem from 50 co nts to $1
a day. Tho House then adjourned un
til evening.
At tho evening session mnch work
was accomplished. It was tho last
night for tho introduction of new bills
by any membor, and there was a rush
of now measures. One of them,
joint resolution offered by Mr. Gago
was ono of tho moat far-reaching and
important yet presented. It is direct
ed at tho enforcement of a mandatory
provision of the now Constitution
which will cost tho State $90,000 and
moro. This resolution directs tho
comptroller general to levy a tax on
tho property of tho Stato sufficient
to realize the sum of $92,070.18
to bo hold and used as the "supple
mentary school tax" provided for in
tho now Constitution, ^ho resolution
sets forth that tho report of tho super
inloudent of education shows that on
Oct. 31,1895, lhere were enrolled onlv
223,021 pupils.aud that $G69,0G3 should
have beon tho total fund.
Tho dispensary committee roported
Mr. Child's prohibition measure back
to tho house without recommendation.
Unfavorable reports wore presented on
Mr. J. P. Tilomas' resolution relating
to tho salo of nativo wines in the dis
pensaries, and Mr. JoelT. Miller's bill
to allow tho county boards of control
to purchase liquors.
A substitute bill was presonted by
tho committee for the original bill es
tablishing Dorchester county. The
substituto bill establishes the county
with St. George's ' as the county seat,
tho judiciary committee being of the
opinion that tho matters of the name1
and county seat of new counties aro j
not required to bo settled by a two
thirds majority, but are settled by tho
rules of ordinary elections and that1
under thoso rules St. George's was
chosen as the county seat. This viow
was adopted by the commit too upon
the conclusion of a majority of tho
committee that section 2, article 7 of
the Constitution applies only to the
establishment of tho now county and
not to tho choice of a name for the
county seat. .
. The Bamborg county bill hoing tho
special order for tho evening: was
called up. Mr. Orum was in chargo
of the bill. Ho liad tho bill amended
in regard to certain minor features.
Tho bill was then ordo?'*?1. Lo a third

been carried up to tho court of appeals

bo recovered from them and tho prop
osition in tho resolution is to requiro
tho Stato to pay it, it being contouded
that tho mon woro acting as Stato offi

Mr. Winklor's bill to amend tho
law rolaliug to costs created some do
bato. Mr. Stovonson opposed tho
bill. Mr. John P. Thomas was in fa
vor of tho bill. Mr. Winkler thon de
fended his bill at some length. Ho
said it was not right that tho sheriff
should get tho samo foes for foreclos
ing a$50mortgago asa $5,000 mort
gage. Mr. Skinner said that tho bill
simply proposed to put sheriffs and
clerks on tho samo footing with other
officials. Tho bill was passed to its
third reading. It provides that the
costs allowed by law in all cases of
partition whore the property sought
to bo partitioned does no exceed $1,000
in valuo,and in actions for foreclosure
of mortgage whero tho amount does
not exceed $500, shall bo ono half of
tho costs allowed in cases whoro tho
value oxeceds thoso sums, and this
provinion shall apply to all cost in tho ]
causo.
Mr. Crum's bill to savo small es
tatos from hoing consumed by tho
costs of administration was takon up
and passed. It provides that tho costs
and fees and othor expenses allowed
by law for tho administration of in
testate estates shall not in any case

WASHINGTON, Fob. t-Adfcfal
Bunco ia now ou route to Ohaidojton.
Tho fleet of war ships belonging to
tho North Atlautio squadron Ailed
put of Hampton Hoads to day, h aled
by tho flagship Now York, with? Ad
miral Bunco in command. The vos
sols which followed tho New York
wore the battle ship Indiana, tfe ar
morod cruiser Maine, tho turrOt?ship
Amphitrito, tho cruisor Columbia,
and tho dispatch boat Fem. !Tbo
Admiral telegraphed the faot cf his
doparture to tho navy dopartrhent,
and added that the Marblehoad, which
is somowhore outsido tho Gapes, M'ould
bo ordered to fall in line, if sighted.
Tho double-turroted monitors Puritan
and Terror are also expected to'join
tho squadron, and by tho timo the ac
tual blockade tactics begin there will
probably be other additions ' tb the
force of vessels. ' Tho sqaudron will
probably put in some timo during tho
favorable weather drilling"off: the
Capos and on tho way southward,
and it is not expected that tho phips
will be oil: Charleston boforo the *Hh
instant, unless tho weather forces a
chango in tho programme. Tho Tex
as, Massachusetts and^Brooklny' are
disabled, and thoy will not bo ablo to
participate in tho blockado of Charles
ton harbor. Tho Raleigh, Newark
and Dolphin now engaged in patroll
ing the Florida coast may bo ordered
to join tho squadron at Charleston,
provided they can be spared from
their present duty. Tho Cuban agita
tion along tho coast is subsiding, and
Socrotary Herbart will allow Admiral
Bunco to uso his discretion 03 to tho
advisability of drawing tho ships la?t
named further north for fleet drill.
Admiral Ramsey, chief of tho bu
reau of navigation aud dotail, says
that Admiral Bunco h is been invested
with full authority to omploy tho'ves
sels of tho squadron ns ho may deem
proper under tho circumstances. On
ihe cruise down tho coast to Charles
ton tho Admiral will practico a now
sot of manoeuvres and di ills in hand
ling war ships at sea. Admiral Ram
sey says it is diflicult to describo tho
proposed manoouvros, but tho idea is
to test tho capacity of tho resp?otive
shipa for gotting into action, sustain
ing sister ships in caso of omorgo?cy,
and indulging in other evolutions at
sea, on tho samo principio that a rogi
imont of infantry would be drilled on
land. Some vessels eau go about and
come up in liuo quicker than others.
Tlieso details have to bo carefully
timed and measured, so that when the
flagship gives cortan commands ii cau
bo ascertained to tho minuto how long
oach ship will take to got into tho
position assigned it. Under tho cir
cumstances a weok or ten days iuay
bo thus employed before the groat
ovont-tho blockadiufi* of Charleston
harbor-will bo attempted.
Whon the fleet roaches Charleston
it will be divided into two divisions.
Half of tho hoot will bo assigned to
duty to guard tho entr??eos to tho
harbor. Tho otor half will bo desig
nated as the attacking party. While
the rival divisions aro ' manoouvering
ono of tho swiftest ships will try to
run tho blockade. Tho following day
tho assignments of tho two divisions
will ho changed, and some othor vos
seh will try toget through'the blocado.
Tho officers and men of ?ho fleet aro
greatly interested in the sea game,
which strikes us land lubbers as being
something on tho style of modern
foot ball. All of tho vessels that can
cross tho Bar will rendezvous in
Charleston harbor, where Secretary
Herbert will roviow tho fleet.
Whilo in tho harbor a boat vactfbe
lween tho rival ship's crow might bo
made an interesting feature. Anyone
who has over witnessed a boat race be
tween tho crows of several men-of -war
in double-banked cutters will never
forget the scone. Each ono of these
war ships have in constant training a
cuttor or a gig crew prepared to row
a race at pop of tho gun. This sug
gestion is thrown out for tho benefit
of tho committee in' charge of tho
Charleston end of tho demonstration.

ROUND COTTON DALES;
Iutoroittluff Kxporliuonta, Whloli Heom tu I
i.-........ np>.?Ujt
Very interesting experiments have
recontly boen made in St. Louis, de
monstrating tho advantages to bo ob
tained from packing ootlon i uto ba loa
of cylindrical form. The test was
mado at St. Liuis, and tho objeot was
to noto tho effects of lire upon bales of
this kind. Tho judges were from tho
board of underwriters, and tho follow?
lng from tho St, Louis Ropublio. in
dicates that tho system of packing
has many advantages over the old.
The Republic says:
"Cotton put up in round bales
won't burn to any groat extent. This
faot was proven botoro the board of
underwriters Wednesday moruiag by
the Amorioan Oottou Company which
operates tho round balo systom. A
round balo was shown completely
covered, ends and all, with a closely
woven cover, and with no cotton
whatever exposed. The "flash haz
/.ard," ono of the greatest risk in cot
ton, is thus romoved by tho now
method of bailing. It was explained
that no cuting of the wrapping of
any sort was necessary or permitted,
as a guaranteed sample of tho halo
was drawn in procoss of making and
properly idontiiied.
As tli9 objection had boon raised
that tho balo could not bo sampled, it
was demonstrated perfectly that a
sample could bo drawn from tho
round the samo as from any othor
bales, simply by cutting it. Thon
tho ends wero cut opon and tho char
actor of tho winding fully shown.
The bale was then placed upon proper
supports, tho bagging still further cut
and tho cotton thrown back and ox
posed, and wood piled under, around
and on top of tho halo, and coal oil
poured ovor all of it. It was thon
tired; After twenty minutes tho Ure
died down and tho bale was rolled
out, and it was found that beneath
tho outer lawyers tho cotton was un
touched, and that it could not pene
trate tho ends of tho bale, simply
charring tho exposed onds slightly.
It was again set tiro to, but tho blaze
quickly died o?ut.
Meanwhile auothor balo of similar
character was shown, with an iron
rod run through it and properly sup
ported, and this was unwound clear
down to tho core, rolling of like a
coll of paper in a modern printing
press, delivering tho cotton in a
smooth, rogular "bat," ready for tho
maohinory. Thero was no hitch in
the unrolling. Then tho flro bale was
returned to, and to show that
wator would not penetrate it, as well
as to put out any little remnants of
fire that might bo left, wator was
poured upon tho bale. Thon, , with
tho unrolling of ono single turn it
was shown that under tho first layer
tho cotton was perfectly dry and not
damaged in any manner. Tho bale
was then rcovored, weighed, and it was
found that it had lost ll per cont.
Tho large number of uromineut'men,
railroaders, bankers, insurance mon,
otc, who wore present, expressed
thomsolves as satisfied with the suc
cess of tho te? t. From this it sooms
that the round bale has much tho
best of it, but of course thero aro oth
or points to bs considored. For ex
ample, tho packing of cotton in this
manner requires achango iu machin
ery. Can it bo packed at as little cost ;
can it be compressed as effectively,
and can it bo stored in tho hold of a
ship or in freight cars with as much
economy of space aud handling? All
of these features must be weighed bo
fore the new bale can become tho
standard.

KKY WKST, FLA.. Feb. 2.-Tho fam
ily of Rogero Cordivo, Cuban born,
consisting of father, son and three
daughters, ono of tho latter under 1(5,
wero brutally killed at Guanabacoa,
Friday night, undor revolting circum
stances. Tho son, aged 19, had in
curred tho enmity of tho officer of the
patrol some days before by wearing a
small button with the United States
flag on it, and rofusing to take it oil*
whon ordered. Tho patrol officer,
I knocked him down, tearing the but
ton off and injuring the lad severely.
Tho father made a complaint to tho
commanding officer but was thowu
out of the office by soldiers. B'riday
night tho patrol visited tho houso in
tho city limits and after binding and
gagging him, his wife and son, pro- !
ceeded to exorciso thogroatest indigni
ties upon the helpless girls. They
woro compelled to danoo beforo tho
soldiers under throat of (loath to thoir
father and mother if they refused.
AJter several hours spent in carous
ing, suddenly tho loador drew his
machette and killed tho father. One
soldior killed tho mothor and another
shot the lad. Tho girls were then
taken oil', thoir dead bodies being
found next day half a mile from tho
Spanish sentry lines hacked in a hor
rible manner and showing evidences
of brutal treatment. Tho bodies of tho
others wero found in tho house, and
the boy with his dy ing breath told the
story in all its horrible details. Fron
doveilla's officers, when told the story,
laughed at it, saying with a shrug:
"Only soldiers'- play-it was only
Cubans."

A DEFICIENCY IMPENDING.
Ooinptrollor Norton's Xdons How Moro
. i i.miiiu r>?i?> MO ?Twoi?jr linmui..
OOLUMDIA, 8. 0., Feb. 8.-The
Ways and Moans Committee of tho
House, it is said, has not yet com
menced On tho appropriation hill for
tho year, awaiting the Comptroller
General's report which is being print
ed, having been received too late to
havo it oa the dosks of mombers bo
foro. This was owing tothoohango
in tho flsoal y oar whioh proven ted tho
roport hoing compelled until some
timo after tho oloso of tho fiscal year
the General Assombly meeting soon
a flor.
There has been moro or less talk for
several months about a deficiency in
the revenues and a consequent in
crease in the tax levy. Gonoral Nor
ton was asked about these matters yes
terday and ho said there was no doll-,
oienoy this year, but ho thinks that
with tho present bans of ?.axation and
tho assessment of property, which
must stand for some time, there will
bo a deficit of $150,000 to be mot in
January, 1808. There eau be only
$92,000 more from tho dispensary to
go in tho goneral fund, and tnat
counts for this years appropriation.
The Stato treasury now lias cash on
hand of about $500,000, the interest
having been paid in January. The
Legislature will have that much and
a little moro now in process of collec
tion, besides $15,000 in fees and tho
$92,000 from tho dispensary, for ap
propriation purposes. Tho estimated
amount which it will take to run tho
Stato g o vor n mont at present expendi
tures is about $800,000, so it will be
seen that unless somo provision is
made other wno, tho next session will
havo to faco a defloit about at tho fig
ures statod hy Mr. Norton, $150.000.
Tho Comptroller Gonoral has, how
ovor, warned tho Logislaturo of tho
impending crisis ana his porsonal bo
liol is that, unless exponso3 are cut
down, tho levy must ba about llvo
mills, if not something over. Other
wiso tho Stato will have to borrow
money and gel on? too cash basis it is
now on.
Mr. Norton expressos Ibo opinion
tha? there can bo a reduction of ex
penses without detriment to tho pub
lic sorvico, but oxactly what these aro
ho will indicato to the committee,
probably, when called on for informa
tion.
Ho suggests other wa3's, however,
of raising additional revenuo which
he thinks is just and fair. Ho believes
that insurance companies could bo
taxed ono and a quarter to ono and a
half per cont, on their gross business
in tho State, instead of paying taxes
separately in each county as tlioy do
now. This ' law has beou operated in
other States and has proved accepta
ble to the companies.
He suggests, further, a graduated
incomo tax on people doing business
in tho Stato, winch business, however,
is such as not to bo liable for taxation
-such as tho Pullman cars operated
in tho Stato. Anothor idea is lioenses
for professional mon of other States
who come in hero temporarily to do
business in competition to native pro
fessional mon who pay taxes. As an
instance of this ho cited the case of a
dentist from Marion who went on
professional business in threo counties
in North Carolina for a certain period.
In oach of the counties ho had to pay
a license, while a similar man from
North Carolina can come into this I
State and praotice for nothing. The1
lax department poems tb be hard for
ono not versod in its intricates to un
derstand, but after a talk of an hour
with Comptroller General-Norton tho J
above seems to be his ideas on the
situation and tho remedy.-Roglstor.

A Convonlout Invention.
An Orangeburg farmer comes to the
front with a new invention in the
shape of a Lubricator for oiling vo
lliefe wheels without taking thom off
tho axle. It is inserted in the hub
between two of the spokes. When
you want to grease your wheel all you
nave to do is to withdraw a plunger,
whioh operates with a spring, and put
os much oil as is needed on the axle?
Upon being released tho spring closes
up the oil hole until it is Opened for
oiling up again. It is a very ingeni
ous and clever device, and is bound to
be used generally. With these lubri
cators a vehicle can bo. oiled up any
where along the road in less than, ono
minuto. Tho patent for this valuable
invention is owned by the National
Lubricator Company of Orangeburg,
S. O. Mr. Jas. L. Sims, Editor and
Proprietor of tho Orangoburg Times
and Democrat, is the manager of tho
company, whioh is a guarantee that it
is ail right. The company wants an
